His Friends are Anarchists.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-THE conjecture
has been made that Prof. B. Schaeff,
who took morphine in Jail yesterday,
and died, was a bomb-thrower at the
Chicago Haymarket riot. This is
based on the fact that his friends in
Jail were Anarchists, and that two OF
them say that he wrote many of the
worst incendiary articles in the Chi
cago Anarchist organ before the riot.
1t is thought that if he stood a trial in
the Police Court here, it would reveal
his connection with the riot, and re-
suit in his arrest for that crime.
